Ship A is moving westward with a speed of \(10\ \text{km h}^{- 1}\) and Ship B, \(100 \ \text{km}\)south of A, is moving northwards with a speed of \(10\ \text{km h}^{- 1}\). The time after which the distance between them becomes the shortest is:
1. \(5\) hr
2. \(5 \sqrt2\) hr
3. \(10 \sqrt2\) hr
4. \(0\) hr
The time taken by the projectile to reach from \(A\) to \(B\) is \(t\). Then the distance \(AB\) is equal to :

1. \(\dfrac{ut}{\sqrt3}\)
2. \(\dfrac{\sqrt3ut}{2}\)
3. \(\sqrt3ut\)
4. \(2ut\)

1. The time taken by the man is \(12\) min
2. The time taken by the man is \(8\) min
3. The value of \(\theta\) is \(45^\circ\)
4. The value of \(\theta\) is \(53^\circ\)
A body is thrown horizontally with a velocity \(\sqrt{2 g h}\) from the top of a tower of height \(h\). It strikes the level ground through the foot of the tower at a distance \(x\) from the tower. The value of \(x\) is:
| 1. | \( h \) | 2. | \(\frac{h}{2} \) |
| 3. | \(2 h \) | 4. | \( \frac{2 h}{3}\) |
A particle starts from the origin at \(t=0\) and moves in the \(x-y\) plane with constant acceleration \(a\) in the \(y\) direction. Its equation of motion is \( 𝑦 = 𝑏 𝑥^2\). The \(x\) component of its velocity \((\text{at} \ t=0) \) is:
1. Variable
2. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{2a}{b}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{a}{2b}\)
4. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{2b}}\)
A body is projected with a velocity \(u\) with an angle of projection \(\theta.\) The change in velocity after the time \((t)\) from the time of projection will be:
| 1. | \(gt\) | 2. | \(\frac{1}{2}gt^2\) |
| 3. | \(u\sin\theta\) | 4. | \(u\cos\theta\) |
What determines the nature of the path followed by the particle?
1. Speed only
2. Velocity only
3. Acceleration only
4. None of these
A boat is sent across a river in a perpendicular direction with a velocity of \(8\ \text{km/hr}\). If the resultant velocity of the boat is \(10\ \text{km/hr}\), then the velocity of the river is:
1. \(10\ \text{km/hr}\)
2. \(8\ \text{km/hr}\)
3. \(6\ \text{km/hr}\)
4. \(4\ \text{km/hr}\)
